Bourbon Tarragon Cooler

Bourbon Tarragon Cooler

By Elad Zvi, Co-Founder, Bar-Lab

This refreshing and slightly spicy take on a mint julep is truly original but still approachable and easy to make. The Maker’s Mark® Bourbon works surprisingly well with both the heat of the Serrano and the sweeter tones of the tarragon.

Ingredients

2 cups Maker’s Mark® Bourbon

1 piece Serrano pepper, cut in half and deseeded

2 parts Serrano-infused Maker’s Mark® Bourbon*

1 part freshly squeezed lime juice

1/2 part agave syrup

Pinch of salt

1 cup ice

4 sprigs tarragon

Instructions

*For serrano-infused Maker’s Mark® Bourbon, combine the pepper and Maker’s Mark® Bourbon in an airtight container and allow it to macerate for at least 2 days. Store in the fridge and shake container gently twice a day.

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until the ice is pureed.
